History

Aramark, the concessionaire for Mesa Verde, has facilities in the town, and there is a specialty aspen sawmill and other small industrial enterprises. Part of the original Ute Reservation in 1868, Mancos was part of the San Juan Cession of 1873, and cattle ranchers began settling the Mancos Valley in the 1870s, providing cattle to the mining camps of the San Juan Mountains Juan and La Plata Mountains Plata Ranges. A water system and electrical system were constructed in 1904, followed by a new bridge across the river in 1905 and concrete sidewalks in 1909. According to unverified lore, the horses were rejuvenated by the lush green grass in the Mancos Valley. Attempts to create a separate Mancos County from the eastern portion of Montezuma County in the mid-1900s failed.
